Shania Twain says stage fright could force her to be taken ‘off the stage’

‘That Don’t Impress Me Much’ singer has said she doesn’t feel comfortable on stage until she’s ’embraced by the audience’

As Shania Twain prepares to host the People’s Choice Country Awards on Thursday, the 59-year-old legend joked that she might have to be yanked “off the stage” due to her stage fright. 

“I’m not the greatest reader,” the “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” singer told Taste of Country this week. “I’m a very spontaneous speaker and thinker, so if I get rambling, they might have to take the hook out and get me off the stage.”

Twain, who has been performing since she was about 8 years old, said she’s dealt with stage fright her entire career.
